Forever Delayed is a greatest hits album by the Manic Street Preachers, released in 2002.
The album included three singles which had never appeared on the earlier albums ("Motown Junk", "Suicide Is Painless (MSP single)" and "The Masses Against The Classes"), the latter being their only UK #1 hit besides "If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next". Several songs were edited for length ("Motorcycle Emptiness", "You Love Us", "Australia", "Everything Must Go" and "The Everlasting") so that more tracks could fit onto the CD. The album entered the UK Album Chart at #4.
The album featured two new songs; the single "There By The Grace Of God" and "Door To The River". "Door to the River" was originally recorded in the sessions for the Know Your Enemy album, but the band deemed the song to be too unfitting to the album's general style. "There By the Grace of God" can be seen as a foreshadowing of things to come, as it features a more electronic/keyboard-heavy style that would eventually be the main style of the band's next studio album, Lifeblood.
The title of Forever Delayed for their greatest hits package had been planned for several years previous. Nicky Wire first mentions it in Everything - A Book About Manic Street Preachers published in 1998.
